Free short course
Prove It
Check AI answers before you rely on them. Practise five checks, inspect original sources and leave a useful verification record.
This course is free in full: every module, knowledge check and the final task, with no sign-up.
A fluent answer can still contain a wrong figure, an outdated rule or an unsupported conclusion. This course helps you decide what to check and how to record the result.
Work through five checks: specifics, sources, the premise, the counter-case and an independent second opinion. The time needed depends on the claim and what would happen if it were wrong.
Use fictional exercises first, then apply the method to an approved workplace task. The outcome is a checking routine you can explain to a colleague, not a promise that every error will be caught.
By the end, you'll be able to…
- Distinguish generated claims from retrieved evidence and identify consequential facts to check.
- Apply five checks with effort proportionate to the consequences of an error.
- Open and inspect original sources rather than relying on the appearance of a citation.
- Recognise when a task needs qualified human review or should remain manual.
- Keep a concise record of sources, corrections and unresolved questions.
